Fox Hill

Fox Hill is a short, easy cross-country ski route in Minnesota, about 3 miles from Elbow Lake Village. The climb is nearly flat, with a high point of 1,543 feet and a low of 1,534 feet, and the round trip is about 0.2 miles with a total gain and loss of 13 feet each. It works well as a quick outing or a stop on the way to other trails in the area. Winter is the natural season for skiing here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show January highs around 18°F with lows near -4°F, while March runs warmer at about 37°F. The station sits at a similar elevation to the hill, so these figures are a fair guide to conditions on the trail. Several other cross-country ski routes lie within a short distance. Black Bear Trail and Lost Bobcat are each about 0.1 mile away, and Eagles Run is about 0.3 mile off. Deer View Trail is roughly 0.4 mile away.
